Systems Engineering Analysis, Senior

Senior Systems Engineer
Auria is currently seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to join our team. This is a remote position with occasional in-person team collaboration at Auria's main office in Colorado Springs. Travel, when necessary, will be required for support of programs on-site at customer facilities, which are currently located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Laurel, Maryland. That travel is typically at the cadence of once every 6 months, but subject to change based on project/customer requirements.
The Senior Systems Engineer will support the development of onboard satellite autonomy and reactive mission planning, allowing the satellite to coordinate with other satellites for resource allocation in support of overall system goals. The software targets execution on lightweight embedded flight computers, so a good working knowledge of developing code for constrained processing and memory deployment is a must. The software is configurable to support a wide range of satellite scales and capabilities, as well as other vehicle classes such as unmanned air vehicles, unmanned underwater vehicles, and unmanned rovers. The ideal candidate will have familiarity with the process of developing and testing flight software on satellite missions and supporting initial on-orbit checkout of the software and the transition to operations.
